| - As an avid ping pong player and aficionado this is one of my favourite venues in the city, on 3rd thought it just might be my absolute favourite. A few years back I visited SPiN NYC and was blown away by the concept of a ping pong social club. Ever since the TO location opened up I have been nearly weekly.
It is important to know the rates before visiting SPiN, see below for the details.
Walk-In Rates Before 5pm
General Public:
$20 per hour
$10 per half hour
Member Rate:
$10 per hour
$5 per half hour
Walk-In Rates After 5pm
General Public:
$28 per hour
$14 per half hour
Member Rate:
$14 per hour
$7 per half hour
So let's say you walk into SPiN with a buddy on a Tuesday night and get a table, you're looking at $28/hr which some may find it expensive. However, for the ambiance, atmosphere, chic design and notion that you never have to pick your balls up off the floor, other may find it attractive. I am one of those guys.
If you are a ping pong lover this will be your Neverland. There is a bar with both domestic and import beers on tap, various cocktails and solid grub to hold you over and great for sharing.
Be forewarned, trying to walk into SPiN Thurs-Sat in the evening looking for a table is almost impossible. Unless you are a member I highly recommend going before 5pm to take advantage of the special rates, or on Mon, Tues, Wed & Sunday evenings. I also always call ahead to make sure the venue is not rented out for any corporate events, of which they host many.
6/5 for me.
